It makes CAD work like piece of cake" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Creo? Interface is very simple (different tabs for different set of commands) and it is easy to use even for new designers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Creo? During assembly process it is difficult to make changes in child part. It has to be done seperately in child part or else change will not reflect in child part. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Creo solving and how is that benefiting you? CAD models, drafting,prototyping and it is parametric so it makes easy for bottom down approach CAD assemblies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DT Dhruv T. Design Engineer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/20/2021 "Great tool to use for mechanism designing" 4/5 What do you like best about Creo? It has some great parametric aspects, better solvers for kinematic & dynamic linkage simulations, you get much less errors than any other software like Solidworks if you follow a correct procedure. In short you get a closer result to your input than Solidworks. Also it enables us with a wide variety of functions & tools for a wider applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Creo? It is a bit less user friendly than other 3D modeling softwares, need to work on rendering tools and visual/appearance aspects to be used for brochure making, other marketing or customer related purposes. Need to make user friendly environment for assembly purpose, so that a new user can use it without facing any problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Creo solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is very simple to understand and powerfull tool to generate 3D models Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Creo? It is boring to model and sometimes difficult to perform complex operations Some complex models are hard to make in creo parametric Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Creo: You should definitely use creo parametric as it is the best CAD software out there. You can almost do anything that you can imagine using this software. You get a really good feeling after converting your imagination into actual 3D software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Creo solving and how is that benefiting you? Problems: I am working on various designs and product and always use creo parametric. It helps me visualize the product that I have designed and check whether what I have designed is actually feasible. It also serves as a language between different product teams to help them understand what I have worked on Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Executive Business Consultant Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 11/3/2020 "Design to Analysis" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Creo? Step by step model creation and easy process improvements, including model modifications and change management are quite easier and convenient to all. Integrated welding and framework option are so cool and provides great visuals. Numerous tools and never ending options for all the manufacturing process methods for Mechanical industry . Regulatory programing on the system make it smooth and top class for industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Creo? Conversion CAD parts from other native 3 D softwares are not so adaptive to the creo parametric. The constraints in assembly are tedious and even for simple conceptual design it is too burdening to change and make it presentable. Fixing the templates is not so simple, many times the features or some frames mismatches when creating the automated drawing sheet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Creo: Preserving the traditional way of design and trying to switch to modern level of design systems, Creo parametric is the good option to go with. Numerous options will transform your life to ages ahead. When you think of working compatible with the industrial design segment you can consider Creo, as the evolution begins from Proe wild fire, the transformation is much informative and technologically upgraded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Creo solving and how is that benefiting you? Changing assembly and drawing sheet was too time taking on 2 D softwares, Creo parametric made it quite easier and dynamically changing the drawing sheets, when we change the models. Skeletal modeling optimize the time in changing the models or parts and also prevent us from re - inventing the wheel in design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
